I don't have any. I bought a lip and the bumper seperately so there was no screws. Is it the plastic screws or the metal ones?

This is what I had to do. I tried to get "factory" screws, but it is impossible.

For my SE lip the body shop and I called Mitsubishi and it turns out that they use rivets to hold the lip to the bumper.

your lip is not bolted to your bumper from the bottom first off...

THERE ARE NO RIVETS

they have phillips head self tapping screws with a large diameter head

PM RussellM and he will assist you in getting what you need

they do exist via a mitsubishi dealer and are readily available

please try not to spread false information

I had no idea there was an extension piece, that sits behind the SE lip/zero lift kit?

When I was looking for the factory screws, I PM'd RussellM for assistance and he was NOT able to get/find me the screws.

I also called my local dealer with no avail.

Will the end solution apply to an VIII as well? the very corner of my lip ( near the tire ) wont stay on for ****, and I can't really tell what those plastic blocks on the bumper (behind the lip) have to do with anything.
